Not necessarily all, obviously, but there seems to be a general feeling of frustration or unhappiness about Mexican immigrants in the United States.

I do not live in the States, so I'm genuinely curious - am I incorrect? If I am correct, why are Americans frustrated by Mexican immigration? Thank you!

Michael Moore has only been bashing America since anyone ever heard of him. He goes down to Cuba and films a video, which of course is against the U.S. embargo on Cuba, and lies through his teeth through the whole video. When asked if he would move to Cuba since the healthcare was so great he could only mumble another question or in other words, NO!!! I think it is about time he gets either exiled or classified as a traitor. If he hates America so much, why does he still live here? I think he should be offered a one way plane ticket to Iran and we'll all see if he goes!

My son is 17 years and being charged as an adult for tampering in the state of Missouri. The judge has refused to give him an attorney even though my son has told him that he can not afford one. According to meranda rights you have a right to an attorney...if you cannot afford one , one will be appointed to you. How is the judge denying him an attorney? My son does not have a job because he is staying at the hospital with his newborn baby that is nicu. The judge has told him that he has 15 days to get an attorney or he will provoke his bail and lock him back up. How is the judge denying him an attorney? Is he working with some loophole?

In countries like Britain and Canada Healthcare is free but there are waiting lists. Some people have to wait as long as 10 years for their time to get their operation. In Canada there is a case where one woman had to get a surgery in 3 months or she would die. When she pleaded to the all loving Canadian Healthcare system they told her that the best they could do was put her on the list for her operation in 3 YEARS!!! She was going to die in three months!! She heard that she could go over the border and have operations done in the United States faster. (Which does not have a healthcare system) She came over the border and had the operation done that weekend!!! I think our hospitals that we have should get a round of applause. In Britain over 150,000 lives have been lost already to waiting lists. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO AMERICA!

"The Truth About Hillary"? I just got done reading it. It was a read that I couldn't put down. It's scary facts about Hillary that are backed up by sources (except for a few anonymous ones). But, for the most part, all sources are divulged... Talk about an evil, power driven, cold woman. You've got to read this book if you haven't already done so.

The gov't is getting in debt with China, big debt. And we know USA is in a win or win situation with Iraq. USA loose the war, and they wont be able to redeem the over 1 trillion dollars invested because they wont be able to take over the oil. Bush has just cut the funds on national protection against terror by over 50%.

What the h*ll is going on? How price is going down, dollar is going down, China economy growing, USA economic decreasing. This has not been projected 10 years ago.

What is your opinion about it?

WTF?! I was just watching this prison show on tv and they showed a guy who had to cut the front off of his earring off. The part that holds the stone. That doesn't make any sense to me. I understand that they are prisoners, but for crying out loud! Why destroy a perfectly good earring when you can simply take it out like you are supposed to??? Can someone please make me understand cause right now I view this as absolutely unnecessary and absurd.

We love our Iranian friends.
The current government has been making threats against the citizens of the United States and Israel and destabilizing the Middle East more than us.
Should we be worried about yet another country with Nuclear Weapons??
What do you think we should do about it?

It doesn't make sense. Bush's approval rating is at a all time low, the polls show the majority wants us out of the war, and the people elected a democratic house and congress for that purpose. Why are people supporting candidates that are basically following in Bush's footsteps? This country needs a revolution, but are people too scared to actually try for it? How long are we going to let the same chariade occur over and over again?

Im a registered Independent from NYC. I voted for Bush in 2000, Kerry in 2004.

I dislike Bush and Republicans. As a Nyer I voted for Rudy Guilanni as Mayor, liked him, even met him in 1999 and he was very nice to me, like a family member. I feel hes a hard worker and admire him. I like him the best out of all the candidates but how can I vote for a Republican who supports Bush?

On the other hand Hillary Clinton has done nothing for NYC, I met her once here and she was rude to me, would not talk to anyone. I feel she is fake and phoney and not to be trusted...
But she is not a Bush supporter..

What am i supposed to do and who do i vote for?

no cheap pay then no more cheap labor. american labor has been cheated. if politicians, judges and cops don't enforce the law, american labor pays for cheap mexican labor. too bad for mexicans but worse for millions of american workers.

arrest the employers. it would be easy. any politicians that fails to support legal american labor is a damned liar and should never be elected. that includes hillary. vote them out, now. now is your chance.
